Designer Collections
Groups of area rugs that coordinate with
each other and fit within the same design
theme make up a collection. Often, you
need more than just one area rug to
complete a design project. The colors
should compliment and occasionally
contrast, but never clash. The patterns
should make sense together, and then
the size of each individual piece has to
be just right. Its a lot to hope for. Ruggs
Benedict can help.
“By featuring groups of complimentary,
area rugs from the best rug makers, we
make shopping much easier.” believes
owner Roger Benedict. “When you find
the right center piece, perhaps for the
living room, it is a snap to select a
complimentary piece for the dining room,
and then a runner for the hallway or the
stairs from one of our coordinating
collections.”

SAHAR
Sahar carpets….. as individual as you are. They are a synthesis
of modern design and primitive culture. Tribal artisans are free
to express themselves, weaving the design and color transitions
as they go. Each carpet is hand made by the artisan weavers
of the Qashqa’i tribes of remote southern Iran. Fine, hand spun
wool is steeped in colors coaxed from local vegetables, fruits,
and flowers. Then, the wool is hand woven to create each
unique composition.
Sizes available range from small accent pieces (2’ x 4’) up to
large room size carpets (10’ x 15’). Custom sizes are also
available to create the perfect look for your home.

TUFENKIAN TIBETAN TRADITIONAL
Every Tufenkian rug is made from hand, from the gathering
and dying of the finest Tibetan wool, to the final knotting of the
design on the loom. The result is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind
masterpiece to be treasured and enjoyed for many years to
come. This particular collection captures traditional themes
and abstracts them, creating a modern heirloom inspired by
the past but instilled with the aesthetic of today.

NEW ANTIQUE
A strong design trend is based on creating a “timeless/ageless”
look by using a combination of antiques and reproductions.
Some of our favorite rug makers have perfected the art of
reproducing antique designs with the look and feel of rugs that
have seen generations of home life. The pieces in our New
Antique Collection have the texture and feel of old rugs, and
can give your home a look of traditional elegance with a casual
twist. Our collection tends towards richer, stronger colors,
such as ruby reds, chocolate browns, harvest golds, and earthy
greens. These pieces are all one of a kind, unique carpets
selected for color, style, and quality.

GABBEH
Gabbeh translated means something that is “raw, natural, or
uncut”. These Persian rugs are all hand woven by tribal women
of southern Iran, into unique patterns that reflect the weaver’s
spirit and creativity. The designs may tell a story, depict a
landscape, or even convey an emotion. This random process
ensures that no two Gabbeh rugs are ever alike. Even the dyes
are created from vegetation found in the Zagros mountain range.
The result is a rich, organic color that can never be exactly
duplicated, but rather recreated in similar hues. An original
Gabbeh is unmistakable, and will only appreciate with age.
